Description
Within the survey data, a large number of clear, positive anomalies have been identified as being of archaeological origin. These include linear and curvi-linear features. These are likely to be linked to Iron Age and Roman enclosures, pits and settlement evidence that are present on the area surrounding the site. These have been documented in previous excavations (1989 and 1990) and are also linked to aerial photograph evidence (Pastscape website). There is also a small single linear indicative of a ploughed out bank or earthwork. Areas of concentrated pit-like anomalies also indicate the presence of archaeological activity within the survey area. Other anomalies observed are likely modern in origin including utilities, ferrous objects in the topsoil and magnetic disturbance relating to field boundaries and fences.
